Answer 1

Given series: P L M O K N I J B U H V Y G C T F X R D Z E S W A Q

There are five vowels here: O, I, U, E, A

All other letters are consonants.

New arrangement: O K L N J M J I A V G U X F B S E W Q C Y F R V B P

There are five vowels in the new arrangement: O, I, A, U, E.

Left side: O K L N J M J I A V G U X F B S E W Q C Y F R V B P : Right side

Only vowel I is followed by vowel A.

Hence, only one vowel in the new series is immediately followed by another vowel.

Note:

Vowels in English alphabetical series: A, E, I, O, U

All other letters are consonants.
